SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (June 2, 2023) – With the 2023 Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s Texas Team Trail presented by Progressive season ending this weekend at Choke Canyon Reservoir, Texas Team Trail is already getting primed for another go-round as the 2024 schedule and locations was announced today.

The schedule will once again feature four regular-season events with a healthy mix of some great bass fishing lakes at the right time of the year. Throughout the 2024 season, the best team anglers in the state of Texas will battle each other, for hefty contingency bonuses, and a new boat and motor as the winning prize at each event.

The final event of the 2024 season will conclude in June with the best 75 teams from 2024 Progressive Team of the Year points competing for a new White River Marine Group brand boat and motor package, plus an additional White River Marine Group brand boat and motor package will be awarded to the 2024 Progressive Team of the Year points champion. In addition the Texas Team Trail will be expanding the Team of the Year Payout even deeper in 2024.

2024 Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s Texas Team Trail presented by Progressive schedule:

Feb 17th– Sam Rayburn

March 23rd– Sam Rayburn

April 13th– Lake Fork

May 4th– Belton Lake

June 8th & 9th– Toledo Bend *Championship*

The schedule will see stops at Rayburn twice in the early season, which has become the normal times for Texas Team Trail to be there. Then for the first time ever the trail will stop on Lake Fork for what promises to be a shootout. The last regular season stop the trail will visit Central Texas where the anglers will fish on Belton Lake which has hosted a few Texas Team Trail events in the past. After that the top 75 qualifying teams will compete on Toledo Bend for the season ending championship. It’s been several years since the Texas Team Trail has visited this famous fishery and we’re excited to be going back.

Texas Team Trail tournament director Mike Hastings commended the schedule as another great opportunity to fish one of the best team tournament trails in the nation on exceptional fisheries for a great payout, at an entry fee that hasn’t increased.

“The 2023 Texas Team Trail has been a great success, and we just can’t thank the anglers and our great sponsors for helping us all have such a great year. We are excited to be crowning our 2023 TXTT Champion this week, but even more excited to unveil next year schedule to give the anglers something to start planning and look forward to”.

Registration dates will be announced soon! 2024 Texas Team Trail regular season entry fees will be $250 per event and each angler membership fee is $50. Additionally, anglers have an exceptional opportunity to earn contingency bonuses based on numerous brand loyalty programs, more information about at the texasteamtrail.com website.

I think should go to Rayburn one more time

Yep. The locals don’t get enough love.

Hey I get it Rayburn is always gonna be the best draw. At least you know where your gonna fish your championship before you decide what you want to fish for the season

I bet if a poll was done of the anglers the majority would not want to go to Fork

Since the majority of their anglers live around Rayburn, I’d agree.

Some the best sight fisherman in the state are from that area. Fork will be fun after what I saw this year in April...

Yup, they like sleeping in their own trailers every night for 3 of the 5 events....

Great schedule, good luck to those who fish it.

Question, does Sam Rayburn and Toledo draw the biggest numbers because there are that many fishermen that live in all the small towns around there or is it the Dallas and Houston travelers? I’ve never been around that area, just curious.

That had about 30 more teams at Rayburn than Champs did for both events.

The Rayburn Toledo folks don’t travel So they gotta have enough events for them to qualify

That's a generic statement that apply's to everyone. How many events do you fish a year that are 4+ hour drives, one way. The expense and time for this excludes alot of people.

My thoughts are this, I cannot be the only one thinking this. IMO

You have a tournament trail with lots of Money and good sticks fishing for a 18 ft boat which is useless to any of them cause most all run 20 ft plus boats.

Now if you were in a kayak tournament winning a 18 ft boat would be a upgrade but in a big tournament winning a 18 ft boat is a down grade. Why Not Cash ?

Let the Winners be proud for their efforts.

A 18 ft boat would be a hard sell IMO

I guess a WIN is a WIN but winning a 18 ft boat when you already have a 20 ft plus I just don't get it. Plus winner pays the taxes on the value ?

Give the WINNERS something they can use and compete for and you can draw a bigger field not that you need anymore but Cmon Man !!!

Just my thoughts and why I don't fish this trail. Not much money and small prizes . IMO

Yep, doesn’t make sense to me. They have to pay taxes on it and then the beating of selling a 18’ boat.
